DESCRIPTION:From 2019 to 2022, the UH Mānoa General Education Committee and General Education Office conducted an assessment of student learning in Foundations Global and Multicultural Perspectives (FG) courses. In this assessment, most students identified Africa as the part of the world they learned least about; instructors likewise identified Africa as the part of the world where students were least knowledgeable. \n\nThis panel consists of faculty members from a variety of disciplines who have taught courses (including FG-designated courses) focusing on Africa. Topics to be addressed will include:\n\nTeaching Africa as critical to understanding our contemporary world\nPlacing Hawaiʻi in conversation with Africa (particularly South Africa) with regard to decolonization and transformation in academia\nHow the history of African Studies helps us teach it today\nTeaching African Studies in courses where it is not the only focus, such as a topic course with global reach or a course on African American history\nTeaching Africa in comparative perspective\nWhat UHM students know and don’t know about Africa, and moving beyond racialized understandings of the history of Africa\nUsing primary sources in teaching about Africa\nRhetorical and pedagogical devices for teaching about Africa\nThe limitations of teaching about Africa at UHM\nPresented by\n\nNed Bertz\nHistory\n\nChristian Peterson\nAnthropology\n\nRichard Rath\nEthnic Studies\n\nEirik Saethre\nAnthropology\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the OFDAS Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) and the UH Mānoa General Education Office.
